class of the
Notes:
Type of Notes:
The Notes described in this summary are debt securities which may be
issued under the £500,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme of
EnQuest PLC arranged by Numis Securities Limited.
Numis Securities Limited acts as arranger and dealer.
The Issuer may from time to time terminate the appointment of any
dealer under the Programme or appoint additional dealers either in
respect of one or more Tranches or in respect of the whole Programme.
References in this Prospectus to "Permanent Dealers" are to Numis
Securities Limited and to such additional persons that are appointed as
dealers in respect of the whole Programme (and whose appointment has
not been terminated) and references to "Dealers" are to all Permanent
Dealers and all persons appointed as a dealer in respect of one or more
Tranches.
The Notes will be issued on a syndicated or non-syndicated basis. The
Notes will be issued in series (each a "Series") having one or more issue
dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect
of the first payment of interest), the Notes of each Series being intended
Section C - Securities
to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each Series
may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on the same or different
issue dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will be
completed, where necessary, with the relevant terms and conditions and,
save in respect of the issue date, issue price, first payment of interest
and nominal amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other
Tranches of the same Series) will be completed in the final terms (the
"Final Terms").
The Notes may be Fixed Rate Notes, Floating Rate Notes or Zero
Coupon Notes, as specified below.
The Notes may be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") or in
registered form ("Registered Notes") only. Each Tranche of Bearer
Notes will be represented on issue by a temporary Global Note if (i)
definitive Notes are to be made available to Noteholders following the
expiry of 40 days after their issue date or (ii) such Notes have an initial
maturity of more than one year, otherwise such Tranche will be
represented by a permanent Global Note. Registered Notes will be
represented by Certificates, one Certificate being issued in respect of
each Noteholder's entire holding of Registered Notes of one Series.
Certificates representing Registered Notes that are registered in the
name of a nominee for one or more clearing systems are referred to as
"Global Certificates".
Notes have been accepted for clearance through the Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg systems (which are the entities in charge of
keeping the records) and, in relation to any Tranche, such other clearing
system as may be agreed between the Issuer, the Issuing and Paying
Agent, the Trustee and the relevant Dealer. The Common Code, the
International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and (where
applicable) the identification number for any other relevant clearing
system for each Series of Notes will be set out in the relevant Final
Terms and issue specific summary.
On or before the issue date for each Tranche, the Global Note
representing Bearer Notes or the Certificate representing Registered
Notes may be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg. Global Notes or Certificates may also be
deposited with any other clearing system or may be delivered outside
any clearing system provided that the method of such delivery has been
agreed in advance by the Issuer, the Issuing and Paying Agent, the
Trustee and the relevant Dealer. Registered Notes that are to be credited
to one or more clearing systems on issue will be registered in the name
of nominees or a common nominee for such clearing systems.
In addition, in certain circumstances, investors may also hold interests in
the Notes indirectly through Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited through the
issuance of dematerialised depository interests issued, held, settled and
transferred through CREST ("CDIs"). CDIs represent interests in the
relevant Notes underlying the CDIs; the CDIs are not themselves Notes.

Indication of Yield:
on the basis of the Issue Price using the following formula:

The yield in respect of each issue of Fixed Rate Notes will be calculated
Where:
$``\mathbf{p}"$
is the Issue Price of the Notes;
C n
is the annualised Interest Amount;

is time to maturity in years; and

will be disclosed in the relevant Final Terms) and the number of

As an example, if an investor knows that the Redemption Amount will
be 100 per cent. (i.e. the Notes will be redeemed by the Issuer at par
interest is paid on the Notes once a year) and he wishes to calculate
the yield on Notes with an Issue Price of 99.81 per cent. (this amount

Section C - Securities
payments due to be made before the Notes are repaid on the
Maturity Date), then, using the following formula:
99.81 = $\frac{1x5}{r} (1-(1+\frac{r}{1})^{-3})+100(1+\frac{r}{1})^{-3}$
a first estimate (which is a guess) of yield as being: $r = 5.05$ (to be
expressed as a percentage of one), would show an issue price of
99.864, as per the following calculation:
$\frac{1x5}{0.0505}(1-(1+\frac{0.0505}{1})^{-3})+100(1+\frac{0.0505}{1})^{-3}=99.864$
The investor would therefore have discovered that a yield of 5.05
must relate to a higher Issue Price than the given 99.81. For the
second estimate, the investor would choose a higher yield in order to
come closer to 99.81. The revised second estimate (this time a more
informed guess) of $r = 5.07$ would, when input into the same formula,
lead to the actual Issue Price 99.81, as follows:
$\frac{1x5}{0.0507}(1-(1+\frac{0.0507}{1})^{-3})+100(1+\frac{0.0507}{1})^{-3}=99.81$
Therefore, the investor would have discovered by iteration that the
yield in this scenario is 5.07 per cent. per annum.
The Yield on the Issue Date will be disclosed in the relevant Final
Terms. Yield is not an indication of future price.

Section D - Summary Risk Factors
D.2 Key
information
on the key
risks that are
specific to
the Issuer:
Production is critical to the Issuer's success and a reduction in net
۰
production revenue would adversely affect its acquisition,
development and exploration activities and financial condition.
Production may be affected as a result of drilling on uncertain sub-
surfaces, operating in difficult environments with mature equipment
and the potential for significant unexpected shutdowns.
The Issuer's business is materially affected by the prices obtainable
for oil and gas. Any material decline in prices could have an adverse
impact on the Issuer's performance and financial condition.
Failure to develop contingent and prospective resources or secure
۰
new licences and/or asset acquisitions and realise their expected
value on budget and on schedule may have a material impact on
the Issuer's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Issuer needs to generate sufficient cash or raise finance to
۰
achieve growth. This financing may not be available.
The Issuer's success is dependent upon its ability to attract and
۰
retain key personnel who have expertise in the areas of exploration
and development, operations, engineering, business development,
oil and gas marketing, finance and accounting.
The Issuer is reliant on the regulatory or fiscal environment in which
۰
it operates. Any change to this environment may have a material
impact on the Issuer's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Non-alignment on various strategic decisions in joint ventures
۰
entered into by the Issuer, may result in operational or production
inefficiencies or delay.
The Issuer operates in a competitive environment across many
۰
areas particularly relating to the acquisition of oil and gas assets, the
marketing of oil and gas, the procurement of oil and gas services
and access to human resources, which may cause the Issuer's
revenue to decline over time.
The Issuer's operations are subject to liabilities arising from health
۰
and safety matters, including operational safety, personal health and
safety, compliance with regulatory requirements and potential
environmental harm.
The reputational and commercial exposures of the Issuer to a major
۰
offshore incident are significant. If any member of the Group
Section D - Summary Risk Factors
suffered a major offshore incident, this may have a material negative
impact on the Issuer's reputation and performance.
D.3 Key
information
There are also risks associated with specific types of Notes, and with the
Notes and the markets generally, as follows:
on the key
risks that are
specific to
the Notes:
The Group has a revolving credit facility whereby the Issuer has
granted security to the lenders over the shares it holds in various
subsidiaries which hold petroleum assets as well as floating
charges over its own and those subsidiaries' assets. The lenders
will therefore have priority over the Noteholders in relation to
these secured assets and, for example, should the Issuer become
subject to insolvency proceedings, the lenders, as secured
creditors, would be paid the debt owed to them in full ahead of the
Noteholders, as unsecured creditors as a result of which the
Noteholders may not get all of their money back.
An optional redemption feature of Notes is likely to limit their
market value; the market value is unlikely to rise above the
redemption price during any period when the Issuer may elect to
redeem the Notes. In addition, the Issuer may be expected to
redeem Notes when its cost of borrowing is lower than the interest
rate on the Notes; at those times, an investor may only be able to
reinvest its money at a significantly lower rate.
The terms and conditions of the Notes contain provisions for
calling meetings of Noteholders to consider matters affecting their
interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to
bind all Noteholders including Noteholders who did not attend and
vote at the relevant meeting and Noteholders who voted in a
manner contrary to the majority.
If a payment to an individual were to be made or collected through
an EU Member State which has opted for a withholding system
and an amount of, or in respect of, tax were to be withheld from
that payment pursuant to the EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on
the taxation of savings income (the "Savings Directive") or any
other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN
Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of
savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or
introduced in order to conform to such Directive, neither the Issuer
nor any Paying Agent nor any other person would be obliged to
pay additional amounts with respect to any Note as a result of the
imposition of such withholding tax.
Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and
one may never develop, or may be illiquid. In such case, investors
may not be able to sell their Notes easily or at favourable prices.
investors in CDIs will have an interest in a separate legal
instrument and will not be the legal owners of the Notes in respect
of which the CDIs are issued. Accordingly, rights under the
